What is Boring?
Boring is the machining process of enlarging a pre-drilled or pre-cast hole with a single-point cutting tool or boring head. A boring machine produces smooth and accurate holes in a part with a bore, using a single cutting tip of steel, cemented carbide, or diamond. The most common boring tools are braces, bits, and gimlets. A joiner can use different chisels for boring work as well. Hand boring tools are powered by hand pressure while an electric power dill obtains power from electricity and battery. It is essential to keep your cutting parts sharp for accurate results. The different types of boring methods are:
• Displacement boring
• Wash boring
• Auger boring
• Rotary drilling
• Percussion drilling
• Continuous sampling
Vertical boring mills are often large in size and uses a rotating piece attached to a horizontal table. The tool head is in direct contact with the item to be bored. The borer is able to travel upwards or downwards, depending on the needs of the operation. A vertical milling machine is a precision tool used for shaping and fabrication of metallic parts. Other materials such as plastics can also be machined depending upon tooling and material.
A horizontal boring machine or horizontal boring mill bores holes in a horizontal direction. The three main types are table, planer, and floor. The table type is the most common and versatile, making it the most universal type.
